Texas A&M’s Texas Transporta
tion Institute are included in a
National Geographic article on
the nation’s interstate highway
program.
The lengthy article in the Feb
ruary issue credits TTI engineers
with development of the break
away highway sign which has be
come the standard for new inter-
state construction throughout
much of the nation.
A color photographic sequence
shows a car crashing through one
of the large breakaway signs,
with no injury to the driver and
only minor damage to the front
of the vehicle.
Tying in with the breakaway
sign project, National Geographic
notes TTI is now engaged in re
search to reduce the impact when
a vehicle strikes a concrete abut
ment or other stationary obstacle.
The magazine also includes a
color photo of TTI’s television-
computer operation which controls
traffic on a portion of Houston’s
Gulf Freeway.

Russians Move Ships
Into Korean Waters
WASHINGTON <A>)—The Rus
sians have moved a force of war
ships into Korean waters where
American fighting ships have
been concentrated on the Pueblo
crisis.
Government sources said Wed
nesday there are 10 or 16 soviet
warships in the area, including
cruisers, destroyers and frigates.
They are believed to have come
from Vladivostok, Russia’s main
Far East naval base.
Meanwhile, the United States
has withdrawn the giant 85,000-
ton aircraft carrier Enterprise
from the Sea of Japan, leaving
behind two other carriers, de
stroyers and support ships in a
force of about 20 U.S. vessels.
THE SOURCES, disclosing
these developments, said there
was no connection between the
presence of the Soviet ships and
the withdrawal of the Enterprise.
But they conceded the action
could create the impression of a
partial American pullback in the
face of Soviet naval pressure.
Withdrawal of the Enterprise
to the southern fringe of the Ko
rean Strait was tied by some U.S.
sources to diplomatic moves aimed
at getting Comhiunist North Ko
rea to return the intelligence ship
Pueblo and the 82 survivors of hn
crew.
THERE WERE reports that
Hungarian diplomats at the Unit
ed Nations have suggested that
pullback of the Enterprise might
promote a willingness on the part
of North Korea to talk seriously
about returning the Pueblo.
The Enterprise, carrying sonit
90 warplanes, was sent into the
Sea of Japan off South Korea ia
a show of force shortly after the
North Korean navy snatched the
Pueblo into Wonsan harbor Jan,
22. The big carrier had been on
its way to station off North Viet,
nam after a visit at Sasebo,
Japan.
Sources said that, for the time
being at least, the Enterprise is
remaining in position to race back
into the Sea of Japan if needed.
She has with her as escorts the
nuclear-powered frigate Truxtun
and a destroyer.
THE 78,000-TON carrier Rang,
er, which also has about 90 fight,
ing aircraft, and the 41,000-ton
anti-submarine carrier Yorktowj
are cruising in the Sea of Japan,
The appearance of the strong
Russian force on the crisis wa
ters means the U. S. Navy faces
the Russian navy in two key
areas.
Oregon Family Hears Of Deatl
Of Son In Pueblo Capturing
CRESWELL, Ore. <A>> _ An
Oregon family, held in suspense
for two weeks, was told Wednes
day that their son was killed
while serving on the USS Pueblo.
The Pentagon said Fireman
l.C. Duane Hodges, 21, was
killed and that it had the names
of three men who were injured
aboard the ship when it was
captured by the North Koreans
Jan. 23.
They were identified as Fire
man Apprentice Steven E. Woelk,
seriously injured; and Radioman
3.C. Charles H. Crandell and Ma
rine Sgt. Robert J. Chicca, both
described as slightly injured.
Woelk is the son of Mr. anil
Mrs. William Woelk of Alta Vis
ta, Kan., and Crandell, son of Mr,
and Mrs. Charles Crandell of Kan
sas City.
There was no word on how the
men were injured.
Mrs. and Mrs. Jess Hodges were
notified in Creswell of their son's
death by Navy and Marine Corps
offices.
Mrs. Hodges collapsed and was
put under a doctor’s care.
The White House said Wednes
day that the list of the dead and
injured was provided by North
Korean representatives at a con
ference at Panmunjom in Korea,

Thru Feb. 17.
University Studio
burg, Pa., has approved a change
in regulations which would, in
effect, permit students to drink
in their dormitory rooms. The
rule will go into effect when pro
cedures for implementation and
enforcement are worked out.
The Bucknellian commended
the trustees for their action:
First, we congratulate the trus
tees on this sign of their faith in
our common sense and maturity-
We have urged this step for some
time, in keeping with other evi
dences of a more liberal attitude
toward students.
Second, we urge students to
prove the board’s action was
appropriate. The change was
clearly intended to expand the
realm in which students might
make private decisions regarding
their private lives. It is an aban
donment, in part, of the in loco
parentis doctrine of dictating to
us how we should conduct our
private affairs.
Regardless of what procedures
are set up to enforce the rule,
each student must remember he
is still a member of a community,
keeping in mind that even private
actions could—in a dormitory-
prove disturbing to others. We
believe that when the new rule
goes into effect, it will be self-
enforcing.
Hopefully, this is only one more
—not the last—in the direction of
recognizing student maturity. As
the university’s apron strings
grow looser, we have the oppor
tunity to prove they are unneces
sary.
